Khan met both US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations, before which he visited Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia.

“Yes, we did convey this, and yes, we’re trying our best,” he said.

“I immediately spoke to President Rouhani yesterday after the meeting with President Trump. I can’t say anything right now more than this except that we’re trying and mediating,” he said.
